What's a mom to do for Valentines?

Here are some fun but EASY activities for you to add a little LOVE to your day tomorrow...
· Decorate the house with paper hearts everywhere and have the children collect them. The hearts could be plain or have messages on them! They will want to play over and over!
· Make a special dessert for after dinner like heart-shaped cookies or cake!
· Turn their milk pink with a dot of red food coloring!
· Read some Valentines Books from the Library!
· Show your children pictures from when they were first born. Tell them how much you loved them from the moment they were born – or even when you were pregnant with them.
· Make a Valentines Card for Daddy. There are many templates to print right off line.
· Let your children play with Cool Whip that has been tinted with red food coloring. It is a fun and edible craft project for everyone! They can practice letters, numbers, and shapes!
· Give LOTS of hugs and kisses and tell your children over and over how much they are
loved!
